Yet, somehow, the game still managed to end in a tie. The big kid's coach complained later that we didn't call enough fouls. He said that there should have been several multiple fouls called. This is a guy coaching his 9 year old son who had formerly coached at every level up to small college. I asked how many multiples he had seen called at any level. No answer.

This has me wondering if this
might be the right time for those calls. When a young team is playing hack-a-shaq all game. Give out one or two multiples and it'll clean up real quick.
